Prefetching Manifest Data In An Rfid System
US Patent:
7834764, Nov 16, 2010
Filed:
Jul 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/169748
Inventors:
Christian Lee Hunt - Cary NC, US
Gregory Covert Smith - Raleigh NC, US
Gregory Covert Smith - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G08B 13/00
US Classification:
3405721, 3405728, 340 101, 340 105
Abstract:
In an RFID system having an edge controller and a tag reader that is operably connected to the edge controller, a manifest of items having RFID tags tracked by the RFID system is identified, and data from the manifest is downloaded to the edge controller in anticipation of reading the RFID tags, i. e. , the manifest data is prefetched. An RFID edge controller that may be operably connected to a tag reader receives, in anticipation of the tag reader reading RFID tags associated with items, manifest data prefetched from a database that stores manifests of items, and compares the manifest data with data read from the RFID tags to determine whether the items comply with the manifest.
System And Method For Pallet Identification Based On Threshold Of Case-Level Tags

International Classification:

US Classification:
705 22, 705 14, 705 23, 705 26, 705 28, 705 29, 235383, 235494
Abstract:
A system, method, and program product that uses statistical sampling to determine whether a pallet has been received when the pallet-level RFID tag is not read. When a shipment is unloaded, the system keeps track of the item-level RFID tags that are received. A threshold is retrieved and compared with the number of item-level RFID tags that were received. If the threshold is 50%, then the pallet would be assumed to be received and marked accordingly in the manifest if 50% of the items in the pallet were received. Threshold levels can be customized based upon the vendor shipping the goods, the type of goods being shipped, or both. In addition, the vendor quality rating and the type of good rating can be combined to form a single threshold that incorporates the vendor's quality along with the material (interference) quality of the goods on the particular pallet.

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G08B 13/14
US Classification:
3405721, 340 101
Abstract:
A radio frequency IC tag is provided which is excellent in weatherability, dustproofness, waterproofness, and static protection and capable of making a communication distance long even though each antenna section is made small in configuration. A first antenna equipped with an IC chip is formed on an upper surface of a first spacer. A second antenna is formed on a lower surface of a top cover. A second spacer is shaped in hollow form. The first spacer and the top cover are disposed on both sides of the second spacer with the first antenna and the second antenna being opposite to each other. Each of the first spacer, the second spacer and the top cover is formed of a synthetic resin. Thus, the IC chip and each antenna section are not exposed to the outside and hence weatherability is enhanced.

Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G08B 13/14
US Classification:
3405728, 3405727
Abstract:
To make the antenna pattern of an RFID tag more nearly isotropic, the tag substrate is adapted to fit a corner of a rectangular structure. The substrate has tabs that may be folded, together with a remaining portion of the substrate so that the tag, may be installed on, for example, the corner of a box or crate. The antenna has at least two radiating elements. A first tab bears a portion of one radiating element, a second tab bears a portion of the other element, and a remaining portion of the substrate bears at least a portion of at least one of the radiating elements. When the tag is folded and affixed to a corner, parts of the antenna lie each of in the three mutually orthogonal planes that define the corner.
